ERL will be building his engine, and it should be a nice gain over what he was running!

Is the bottom half being switched up from the 440 or is it just the valvetrain?

When you're choosing springs for an engine what is the thought process in selecting spring pressures? Is there a we start at x, then add y per lb of boost, minus z for valve weight, etc...?

He is changing everything!!

I don't have any formula for valvesprings, they are normally dictated by what we can buy versus the weight of parts used and rpm band.

I heard he's switching the entire set up to go for 6's? I think it's a secret though.

I don't think Mark has any secrets, just still defining what the set up will be. Looks like square port heads on a 427ci engine.
